Preparation:Microwave the green beans on high for about 8 minutes or until completely defrosted.

Toast the almond slivers by cooking them on high in a non stick pan without any oil. Toss them consistently until they are slightly brown. You can do this either by moving the pan around slightly so that the almonds seem to "jump", or you can use a spatula to flip them.

Once the almonds are toasted, take them off the burner and add 2 tbsp sesame oil and the chopped garlic. Return to heat and cook for about 2 minutes.

Stir in the green beans and the ground ginger and cook on high for about 10 minutes.
